DESCEND/CLIMB VIA – Cancels previously issued speeds and aircraft must comply with published speeds. DESCEND/CLIMB VIA – Does not cancel a previously issued speed DESCEND VIA – pilots discrétion descent to meet speed & altitude constraints DESCEND VIA – pilot to begin descent immediately to comply with altitude constraints. NOTE: Canada plans to make DV clearance discretionary to harmonize with US Uses the STAR/SID name and number with descend/climb via clearances Does not use specific STAR/SID name with descend/climb via clearances Departure Clearance (Climb Via DCP) SRM Report – An SRM panel was conducted several weeks ago, pertaining to the FAA 7110.65 Document Change Proposal (DCP), paragraphs 4-3-2 Departure Clearances, 4-3-3 Abbreviated Departure Clearances, 4-5-7 Altitude Information, and 5-6-2 Methods. The panel determined no hazards will be introduced by changing the current guidance and using a "Maintain" when formulating departure clearances containing SID procedures that do not contain published crossing restrictions, radar vector SIDs and those SIDs with a Radar Vector Segment. These changes will become effective on April 27, 2017. Established on Departure Operations (EDO) After the "Shakedown" Human-In-The-Loop- Simulations (HITLS) were conducted on November 7-10, 2016, we agreed adjustments needed to occur by the Tech Center before data collection could begin. Based on the changes that were required a second "Shakedown" has been scheduled for the week of November 28th, which required adjustments to the data collection schedule. The new data collection is as follows: December 13-15 will be Group One Data Collection involving ZTL and A80. January 24-26 will be Group Two Data Collection involving ZTL and A80. January 31 - February 2 will be Group Three Data Collection involving "Other Facilities". National Strategic Production Planning (NSPP) We meet every Tuesday and discuss the procedures that are scheduled for implementation across the country and have no issues to report at this time.
